With 49 ports of call across ten countries, Holland America Line’s 2024-25 Asia season will be the most diverse ever.
With a strong focus on Japan, the 2024-25 Asia season will include departures from Hong Kong, China, Yokohama (Tokyo), Japan, and Singapore.
According to Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line’s chief commercial officer, demand for Asia remains strong as cruisers seek experiences in exotic and off-the-beaten-path locales. Through three departure cities, we can showcase a robust season and diversify our itineraries.
There are 24 ports in Japan alone, and another two dozen scattered across several countries, so our guests are in for an immersive Asia adventure.”
The Noordam will sail nine 14-day itineraries, exploring Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Additionally, the Westerdam will explore Asia during its 53-day Majestic Japan Legendary Voyage, sailing roundtrip from Seattle. There is also the new 28-Day Holland America Line Coral Triangle, Volcanoes and The Great Barrier Reef cruise on the Noordam departing from Singapore on January 5, 2025.
